SRC Member releeps Posted May 6, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted May 6, 2005 Anyone keeping them in 2ft tank, tink abit too small for them leh. DSB abt 3inch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gouldian Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 They are actually zooplankton feeders. I am kept one for 4 moths liao without any deliberate feeding. I kept it in my dsb sump together with my 2 griess, 1 pair of coral banded shrimps and 1 tanagroai goby. All without deliberate feeding. To me, the garden eels are very shy and gentle creatures that will not bother small fishes (even griess). But must never be kept with more aggressive fishes.
